My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0133

After what felt like an eternity of driving, Peter arrived at the emergency room. Philip Hill was already waiting for him. As Peter opened the passenger door to help Mary out, Philip stepped forward and said urgently:

“Your grandmother filled me in on everything. Come on, let’s not waste any

time!”

Peter placed Mary onto a gurney, where nurses quickly surrounded her, checking her vital signs and preparing her for a thorough examination. When Peter tried to follow, Philip stopped him.

“Peter, I know you’re worried, but she’s in our hands now. Let us do our job,”

With that, Philip disappeared into the emergency room, leaving Peter standing at the threshold. Restless and agitated, Peter paced back and forth, his anxiety bubbling over. He hadn’t anticipated the day taking such a devastating turn. With no other options, he pulled out his phone, searched for a contact, and dialed.

“Marcus, something’s happened..” Peter said, his voice shaky.

“Peter, what’s going on?” Marcus asked, alarmed.

“Mary’s grandfather just passed away. They came to my grandmother’s house and took him.”

“Who? I don’t understand. Calm down and tell me what happened.”

Peter struggled to find the words. The love of his life was in the emergency room, at risk of losing the baby he had already come to love as his own. And now, there was the death of Albert–someone he had barely gotten to know but whose loss was already weighing heavily on him. The thought of how deeply this would hurt Mary overwhelmed him. He felt helpless in the storm of emotions crashing down around him.

Meanwhile, at the Financial Crimes Investigation Unit, Maximus and Leonard waited for a resolution. The officer in charge had requested a direct family member to identify and claim Albert’s body, but with Mary hospitalized, there was no one available. As a result, they were denied access to the remains.

Upon hearing this from her son, Catherine was enraged. She demanded that Leopold drive her to the unit. An hour later, she stepped out of the car, her heart broken but her head held high. Determined, she resolved not to leave without Albert’s body.

“Mrs. Catherine, what brings you here?” asked an agent who recognized her.
